Hi,
I need ideas of how to de a water change on my New 20gal Fish mainly Tank. Right now my tank has completed it's cycle and a pair of clown is in it for two weeks. I am thinking to change some water next weekend. I need to know the best way I can do that and things I should not do during that process. I have a HOB Filter a Powerhead.

I prefer smaller more frequent. A 10% water change twice monthly for your current live stock should be fine.

Do not let the heater be unexposed from water. Unplug it.
Siphon the water you want to remove into a bucket.
Then pour your new saltwater back in. Try to keep the temp and alkalinity the same.
